For Journalists — The Evidence Package
How to Use This
This is a public evidence library, not a news article. Every claim is cited to verifiable public records. The entire site is version-controlled in a [git repository]({{ config.extra.repo_url }}) that anyone can clone. Nothing is anonymous. Nothing is behind a paywall.
You do not need a FOIA request. Everything here comes from publicly accessible databases.

Key Stories
The Enterprise Structure
A convicted felon runs two Detroit charter schools receiving $4.9M+ in public funding. His single-member LLC takes 72.67% of revenue. His romantic partner is a convicted drug offender — discharged from MDOC without improvement — who holds every financial officer position in the enterprise. Banks uses Holland. The Management Agreement’s “No Related Parties” clause is violated on its face.
